Magical Malpas PYO Farm

Polubione Nice open site with lovely views, good little play area for the kids. Being a working farm they have some of the animals roaming and also around for the kids to see which was a big hit.
Owner was lovely and very friendly. Also let people know there place in a good way and made sure rules if the camp were followed by all.

There is a playbarn for the kids to play on [£6.50 child & £1 adult]
Firepits & wood can be hired [£7 each a night]

Niepolubione The site doesnt look like the photos advertised on the site. Finding a pitch was abit of a free for all and just where there was space. Pitches werent level as such so it was hit & miss.
There also only one washing up sink which can prove troublesome when you have 10+ tents.

We found the firepit & wood hire expensive. We thought once hired we had it for our stay only to be told we would have to hire again for another night...we've been to many campsites where once paid its yours for the stay you're there.

Playbarn is good idea for the kids but possibly a discount for those staying on site could be an idea as could be expenaive for others with mutliple children.

We did struggle to sleep both nights due to a nearby venue having functions on...the music was that loud and woke mutliple people - this went on till about 12.30/1am both nights which wasn't ideal. This could be mentioned if it was going to be a regular thing going forward as we just didnt sleep properly which was a shame.

Polubione We had a fantastic stay at Magical Malpas this weekend. The site was perfect for our children, who absolutely loved the experience of having the animals around them—it made the trip really special.

Communication and guidance on site were excellent, Barbara and her wonderful family were incredibly welcoming and couldn't do enough to make sure their guests were well looked after.

It’s also in a great location, with ice cream farms, Alderford lake nearby, as well as Chester and plenty of small towns and villages to explore. We were even lucky enough to catch the Magic Malpas role play barn open on the Sunday and the children happily played in there for hours!

A wonderful place to camp and a truly excellent back to basics site (no WiFi, drinking water, showers, electric) but all the perks of a great location and fantastic hosts.

Polubione Easy to find got to choose where to pitch up with was great free range goats the kids loved and a park for them to keep entertained we chose this as it looked like a small camp site which was perfect for my autistic son especially because they had gates that had to be closed due animals so he couldn’t get out lol lovely quiet site and the owner was lovely to talk to and made sure we was okay and the price was fair

Polubione We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The location is peaceful and well-kept, perfect for a relaxing break. What really made the experience stand out were the owners. They were extremely friendly and welcoming. We spoke with them on a few occasions during our stay, and each time, they asked if we needed anything or if there was anything they could do to make us more comfortable.

Polubione Such a lovely campsite for families with young kids. The girls (age 4 and 5) absolutely loved the playground and seeing all the animals on site.

We enjoyed renting the fire pit and roasting our marshmallows in the evenings.

Staff were fantastic with the kids. Also easily contactable or nearby in very easy to spot purple Malpas t-shirts.

In addition to the campsite, on the Sunday the role play cafe on site was open and the girls absolutely loved this and didn’t want to go home.

Polubione We have children 5 & 2. We really enjoyed this site, it’s a small site with a playground right next to the pitches, so kids can play within your eye line. There’s rabbits, donkeys, goats & sheep. The goats spent some time roaming round the site which was fun.
The atmosphere was perfect, there was about 15 pitches tops, all families with kids similar ages, all respectful which always helps.
Toilets clean, tuck shop with ice creams.
The staff couldn’t have done more, especially Nancy. All very welcoming.
